[comp.parallel] parallel data structures

iahmad@wotan.top.cis.syr.edu (Ishfaq Ahmad) (05/23/91)

I am looking for some references (books/papers) which could provide some
information about effecient data structures for parallel architectures,
particulary for distributed-memory message passing systems. I am
interested in knowing how to effecienctly store, manipulate and access 
common serial data structures, when implemented on parallel machines. 
The data structure can be rings, trees, graphs, linked lists, queues etc.
By effeciency I mean good locaity and reduced communication overhead. 
Thanks in advance.

Of course, decision trees tesselate feature space by dividing regions
into subregions recursively, placing hyperplanes that are
perpendicular to the coordinate axis corresponding to the current
decision point.  Discriminant functions provide more general way of
tesselating the space, which could include search tree tesselation.

A good comparison is ID-3 with ARTMAP.
